In Battle Through the Heavens, lying down makes you stronger.

Chapter 170 Amethyst Winged Lion Dog?

Xiao Qing hugged his waist tightly, her little face pressed against Xiao Ran's chest.

"Waaah, young master, you're finally back!"

"I'm so worried about you."

"I heard that the young master was left with the snake people. Xiaoqing is very worried."

Xiao Ran reached out and hugged the little girl who only reached his chest.

He stroked her hair and gently comforted her.

"Don't worry, Xiaoqing, young master is back, isn't he?"

"Um!"

Xiaoqing nodded obediently.

He then raised his head, looking at Xiao Ran with a hint of pride, and said...

"Oh, right, young master, I also have some good news to tell you!"

"Hehe, I'm a two-star Dou Zhe now!"

"Yo ho?"

Xiao Ran was slightly taken aback, then took Xiao Qing's hand and began to examine her.

Sure enough, it was discovered that Xiao Qing's fighting spirit was already at the level of a two-star Dou Zhe, with a very solid foundation.

Satisfied nodded.

"Very good. It seems you haven't been idle these days, Xiaoqing. Young Master is very satisfied."

Xiaoqing grinned happily.

Xiao Ran then said, "Tonight, I will teach you a set of martial arts techniques that I have been preparing for you for a long time."

"From now on, you will be able to cultivate even better."

"Okay, thank you, young master." Xiaoqing nodded sweetly in response.

Suddenly, Xiaoqing remembered something else.

He quickly pulled Xiao Ran to the front of the stage.

"By the way, young master, Uncle Lion says he has something to tell you."

"Um?"

Xiao Ran frowned in confusion, looking at the somewhat timid Amethyst Winged Lion King beside him.

He frowned and asked,

"Disappointing. What's wrong with you? Did you make another mistake?"

The Amethyst Winged Lion King shook his head repeatedly.

"No, no, there isn't!"

Xiao Ran laughed.

"How come in just half a month, you, the Lion King, have turned into a Purple Crystal Winged Lion Dog?"

The Amethyst Winged Lion King rolled its eyes.

He tilted his head back, feigning composure.

"Human, what nonsense are you spouting? I'm just worried about you, you know. Look how much weight I've lost from worry."

As she spoke, her large eyes were fixed on Xiao Ding and Xiao Li.

Xiao Ran sized up the Amethyst Winged Lion King and slowly shook his head.

"I didn't realize!"

At this moment, Xiao Ding smiled slightly.

He stepped forward and said to Xiao Ran,

"Alright, Ran-di, it's dinner time. You've come all this way, so let's stop catching up here. I've already had your sister-in-law prepare the food, let's eat now."

Having spent several days together, Xiao Ding and his fiancée Xue Lan were no longer as unfamiliar as before, and they spoke casually to each other.

"As for what happened, I'll tell you about it later."

"Speaking of which, this whole affair was thanks to the Amethyst Winged Lion King."

"Really? Then why does it look like that?"

"Haha! The Lion King will be heartbroken if he hears this!"

"..."

The group then went to the main hall and sat down together.

While eating, Xiao Ding told Xiao Ran about what had happened a few days ago.

Upon hearing that it was the Mo family of Yancheng who had orchestrated this diversionary tactic, Xiao Ran nodded inwardly.

Fortunately, he managed to keep the Amethyst Winged Lion King.

Otherwise, relying solely on the strength of the Mo Tie Mercenary Group, if they were lured away from their mountain stronghold, the side without Xiao Yan by their side would inevitably suffer heavy casualties.

Xiao Ran nodded thoughtfully.

Just as he was about to ask how they planned to deal with the Mohists,

But he noticed that Xiao Yan was giving him meaningful glances.

After a moment's thought, Xiao Ran instantly understood.

Xiao Yan is not a truly kind person.

They have their own principles and usually take revenge on the same night if they have a grudge, unless they can't win.

The Mohist school from a mere Yancheng,

It's likely that for Xiao Yan, who has the support of Yao Lao, this is a piece of cake.

Thinking back to the series of reactions of the Amethyst Winged Lion King, I couldn't help but find it a little funny.

After a simple yet luxurious dinner, nothing out of the ordinary.

Xiao Yan took the initiative to find Xiao Ran.

Without saying a word, he handed over a storage ring.

Xiao Ran took the storage ring and asked, puzzled,

"What is this?"

Xiao Yan chuckled.

"During the few days that Brother Ran was away, I took advantage of my free time to go out and earn some extra money as a token of my appreciation, to thank Brother Ran for his strong support and care for me."

"Brother Ran, in my heart you are so tall and great, so handsome and dashing, so kind..."

"Stop, stop, stop!"

Xiao Ran frowned and repeatedly stopped Xiao Yan from speaking.

"Emperor Yan, you really think I'm the Amethyst Winged Lion King?"

"Is that what I value?"

Xiao Yan was slightly taken aback.

Xiao Ran looked at Xiao Ran with a hint of disappointment and said,

What I value in you is your ambition!

"You little brat, you've forgotten? You still owe me tens of millions of gold coins!"

"If you don't improve, how am I supposed to collect my debts?"

"What I care about is that, not something that can be resolved with a few flattering words."

Xiao Yan chuckled.

"Don't worry, Brother Ran, I'll take care of this."

He then gestured to Xiao Ran,

"Ran-ge, quickly check the contents of the storage ring!"

"Oh?" Xiao Ran suddenly became a little curious.

My divine sense probed into the storage ring, ah!

All that meets the eye is a golden expanse, sparkling under the moonstone!

Xiao Ran burst into laughter.

"Haha! Emperor Yan, congratulations on your fortune!"

Xiao Yan chuckled.

"Thanks, Brother Ran. How about it? I'm not the kind of person who doesn't pay back debts. I can finally pay back a little of what I owe you!"

Through this experience, Xiao Yan has discovered an extremely quick way to make money.

He was already planning where to raid houses next.

Xiao Ran nodded in satisfaction.

"Great! You've got potential!"

He then tossed the storage ring back to Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan looked at Xiao Ran with a puzzled expression.

"Ran-ge, what does this mean?"

Xiao Ran smiled slightly.

"I don't need the gold coins right now, you can keep them for now!"

Xiao Yan looked at Xiao Ran with emotion, his voice slightly choked.

In the end, it's still your own brothers who you can rely on the most.

Knowing that he needed a lot of resources for his cultivation, he readily gave away tens of millions of gold coins.

Xiao Yan was genuinely moved.

"Ran-ge, I..."

Xiao Ran raised his hand.

"Oh, right, these gold coins also accrue interest; it's five parts interest paid and twenty parts returned!"

With a thud, Xiao Yan, who was still moved, collapsed to the ground.

After a while, Xiao Yan struggled to get up.

He gave a thumbs up.

"Dark! Truly dark! I'm impressed!"

Xiao Ran's eyes widened.

"What did you say, you brat?"

Xiao Yan trembled.

"Hehe, no, nothing. I just meant, hey! Brother Ran is really amazing, I admire you!"

"By the way, Brother Ran, I just wanted to tell you that I'm planning to leave in a few days."

Xiao Ran was slightly taken aback, but then he realized what was happening.

Xiao Yan is probably looking for a place to refine the Green Lotus to replace his Heart Flame.

But thinking about it, it makes sense; many of Xiao Yanzi's opportunities have already fallen into his own hands.

If we don't hurry, it might be too late by the time the three-year agreement is up.

On Yunlan Mountain, he couldn't even beat his own fiancée; she was getting thoroughly humiliated.
